How was the Cave shark? Find any good cross-over projects relevant to Bens Sans?

Had a stroll up there and got shown where the main problems went by a guy from Chesterfield who’s moved to Bangor (David) Shame it’s so far away. Llandudno is so nice.

COME ON LIME! LETS DO IT!

Jim pope has done The Boss, Ned's GRITSTONE  8B+ that he put up last year.

This mis-call is really delivering what it promised

[remus]

Just because people are still doing stuff on the grit it doesn't mean it's not lime season.

The cornice is drying out. It's 10 degrees. It's sunny. It's lime prime time.

You’re sounding a bit stuck record here Fiend... 😁

[Fiend]

With good reason!! I didn't know popeonarope and James N would pull out a repeat of the hardest problem on grit this last week... But it gives a nice context to this being the worst lime call in the sordid history of bad lime calls. Even Haydn's reasoning was deluded - "ice age turning to rain" when indeed it turned to snow, sub-zero nights, and more crisp grit connies. But yes, I probably don't need to point it out any more, fair enough....

Starting to wonder whether Dan C has hacked Fiend's account on here.

The Lime call isn't contingent on scrittle conditions and I'm claiming the Boss as one of ours - definitive honorary limestone.

[Moo]

This is why i nominated you for self sacrifice shark.

Arsehole, that's below the belt and even below my wobbling gutline    Pretty sure my calling posts are 1. topical, 2. comprehensible, and 3. not just trolling

It's both. Which is unusual and most enjoyable.

Everybody is happy!
Except Fiend.

Anyone recommend a good first 7A to try at Anston? I've got my project on the grit but Limestone is more my style anyway.

Beretta

[Wellsy]

That's in my book as a 7A+! I'll try it anyway. Skip a grade, why not.

[sdm]

Saruman is soft as (it's never 7A). Beta Blocker is good and is low in the grade, especially if you know the beta or are flexible or short. Last Stand is one powerful move, then steady to the top (don't bother looking for the ear, it fell off years ago).

[Wellsy]

Last Stand is also a few stars so I will try that too. Thanks for the recommendations!

From what I can tell, Saruman is an ill-defined eliminate.  I vaguely recall doing it using a sequence a local told me was legit, and it did feel about 7a.  But since then, I've seen people (in person and on video), doing "Saruman" using much less restricted sequences, which are never 7a. Basically, to be 7a it needs a universally accepted Minus10 style topo with every move prescribed... and really... who cares?!

Whoops. Sorry

[Wellsy]

No worries.

I mean what is a grade anyway? A lie by any other name

[Fiend]

Good weekend for an actual lime calling, this one 

[User deactivated.]

I'm tempted to try this lime thing too this year. Still bouldering though. Please could someone recommend me a good problem that meets the following criteria:

Within 1 hour of South Leeds
7C-7C+ ish (maybe 8A if its not actually 8A at 6'2)
Not too conditions dependent(that's the point isn't it?)
Sustained rather than cruxy (also the point of lime?)
Reasonably skin friendly

Absolute bonus points if it also:
Is actually a line
Stay dry / dries quickly

[Bradders]

Ebola and Resonate at Anston Stones.

[dunnyg]

Something at goyden (maybe more than 1 hr?) or anstons. Cant pick problems as it is above my paygrade.

[Will Hunt]

This is limestone we're talking about, right?
